Chapter 223 Little Servant 2
Chapter 223 Little Servant 2
After accepting the memory, Yu Mu looked down at his hand that was about to scratch his body.
As if he couldn't feel the itch on his body, he nonchalantly withdrew his hand and sneered: "Didn't Yu Mu realize that his strange illness was caused by Shen Yunwen? He is so foolish that he wants to repay Shen Yunwen. How naive."
"Then what should you do, Master?" Bai Jihei looked at his dirty master and couldn't help but said, "But, Master, don't you change your clothes?"
"What can I do? Of course I have to repay the favor."
Yu Mu: "Close your eyes."
"Oh……"
Bai Jihei opened his eyes again and found that Yu Mu had changed into a cheap-looking grey cloth. His messy hair was tidied up a little, revealing a pair of amber almond eyes, which looked more pleasing to the eye than before.
However, his cheeks were still gray, making it difficult to see his true appearance.
"Let's go and find Shen Yunwen." Yu Mu smiled slightly, his amber eyes were as clear and smart as autumn water.
Bai Jihei had a complicated expression: "Master, don't you feel itchy?"
Yu Mu said calmly: "It's OK."
"What?" Bai Jihei could hardly close his mouth.
The original owner couldn't bear it and committed suicide, how much patience does the master have...
……
Yu Mu waited in a corner not far from the Shen family for two whole days before he saw Shen Yunwen coming out of the Shen family.
He stood up from his crouching position in the corner and followed Shen Yunwen.
Shen Yunwen was wearing a plain white robe and looked a little weak from behind.
He walked leisurely to the bun shop and bought a bun.
Yu Mu hunched his back and followed behind Shen Yunwen.
He looked at Shen Yunwen, who had an elegant temperament, and instantly lost the courage to move forward.
He thought, he was just a little beggar who knew nothing, how could Master Shen keep him by his side to serve him?
He...he should...leave...
"Hey, are you hungry?" Shen Yunwen turned around at some point and saw Yu Mu, then walked forward and said, "I noticed you were staring at me...the bun in my hand."
The little beggar followed him all the way, and was very conspicuous, making it difficult to ignore him.
Yu Mu was at a loss, his face flushed red, although it couldn't be seen on his gray face.
His voice trembled: "I'm not hungry. I'm here to repay Mr. Shen for his kindness last time..."
Shen Yunwen looked at Yu Mu with a scrutinizing look, which was not like that of a 13 or 14-year-old boy. He looked dangerous. "Repay a favor? I can't quite remember who you are, so who are you?"
The voice sounded strangely familiar, a bit like the little beggar he saw outside a few days ago.
But didn’t he eat that bun?
How come it looks like nothing happened?
It shouldn't be...
The pair of amber eyes that Yu Mu revealed were filled with light when he looked at Shen Yunwen, sparkling like gems.
"Three days ago, at noon, in Dongyuan Alley, Mr. Shen gave me a bun."
Shen Yunwen suddenly laughed: "It's you."
He looked at Yu Mu, who was a little nervous, and the smile on his face was a little sad: "You seem to be afraid of me?"
Like a scared kitten, his voice trembles when he speaks.
“No, no…” Yu Mu waved his hands quickly, his mind in a mess: “I was just too nervous… I wanted to stay with you, but I was afraid, afraid that you would dislike me…”
Shen Yunwen was stunned for a moment, then he covered his mouth and started coughing. After a while, he let go of his hand, and his lips, which had looked healthy just now, looked pale.
"You want to follow me? Don't you know that I'm an unpopular, powerless, sickly person in the Shen family?"
Aren’t you a fool?
He said with a hint of self-mockery: "I'm afraid any servant in the Shen family has a higher status than me."
Yu Mu looked nervously at Shen Yunwen, whose face had become even paler: "Master, are you, are you okay?"
"It's okay, I'm used to it." Shen Yunwen stared at Yu Mu and continued, "If you follow me, you will only be bullied by others, and you won't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes on weekdays. Are you willing to follow me like this?"
Yu Mu nodded firmly, his eyes full of stars: "As long as I can stay by Master Shen's side, I will never regret it."
The corners of Shen Yunwen's mouth curled up slightly: "Then come back with me."
Since you have decided to follow him, it is best not to regret it, otherwise you don’t know what bad things he will do.
I hope this little white rabbit can always stick to its original intention...
Shen Yunwen: "By the way, what's your name?"
"Yumu."
"Yu Mu?" Shen Yunwen couldn't help but chuckle: "Who gave you this name? It's very interesting."
"It was taken by an old beggar who found the little one. He always called the little one a wooden-head. From then on, he called the little one Yu Mu."
He died of illness last winter...
"Then I will call you Xiaomu from now on, okay? You don't have to call yourself "Xiao Mu" all the time in front of me, just call yourself "I". I don't have so many rules here."
"Okay, little one... I get it."
……
Shen Yunwen: "This is my clothes. You are a little dirty. Wash them and put them on."
Yu Mu felt that Shen Yunwen was giving him face, which was probably not just a little dirty, but extremely dirty.
"Thank you, sir."
Shen Yunwen held the clothes in his hand and motioned Yu Mu to follow him: "I don't have hot water here, you can wash with cold water."
Yu Mu felt distressed: "Does the young master usually wash with cold water?"
The Shen family is so big, but they don't even want to give the young master a servant...
Shen Yunwen nodded and said as if it was normal: "The Shen family has always ignored me. I have nothing here, let alone firewood, so I can only wash with cold water."
He tilted his head and smiled at Yu Mu: "If you regret it now, it's not too late."
"I'm thick-skinned, it doesn't matter," Yu Mu shook his head, not wavering: "It's hard for you, sir. I will always be with you, and I will never let you take a cold shower again, and I will make your life better!"
Shen Yunwen silently looked at Yu Mu's dirty face. Yu Mu's thin figure was clearly reflected in his eyes, which seemed gentle but were actually calm.
"Um……"
I don't understand anything, I'm stupid...
Shen Yunwen stood in front of the well and pointed: "No, you have to draw water yourself."
After Yu Mu had struggled to fetch water, he asked, "Sir, where should I wash?"
"Just wash it here. There are only you and me in this yard. No one else will come in."
"Sir, there is no need to get too close to me." Yu Mu did not hesitate and quickly took off his clothes, continuously pouring water on himself to rinse.
It took him a full half hour to rub the mud off his body.
